Prosimii is an outdated taxonomic classification for a group of primates that includes lemurs, lorises, and bushbabies. Anthropoidea is another taxonomic classification that includes monkeys, apes, and humans. These classifications have been replaced with more current groupings within the primate order.

Why did Linnaeus develop a new naming system?
Linnaeus developed a new naming system as a way to relate to other creatures based on their characteristics/appearance. Their names help us determine a trait or "hint" of the animal as well as provide it's family. For example a dog is domesticus caninus or a tamed dog where as the arctic fox (had a previous name but now its changed) is called vulpes lagopus where the vulpes is used for fox (red fox is called vulpes vulpes) and lagopus meaning "hare" due to the feet of the white fox. The naming system helps us sort animal according to features. This is more complex by adding the group, subgroup, family, genre, down to specie. Each section of the naming system adds a new trait. Ex: Humans Kingdom-Animalia (animal) Phylum-Chordata (true invertabrates and animals with chordata cord) Subphylum-Vertebrata (vertabrat) Class-mammalia (mammal) Subclass-Theria (includes mammals except one, monotremes) Infraclass-Eutheria (true/good) weird but true, meant for animals developed by placentas Order-Primates Suborder-Anthropoidea (man) Subfamily-Hominoidea (resembling hominids) Family-hominidae (hominids) Genus-Homo (same/alike) Species-Sapiens (wisedom)
What is human's infra order?
The order of humans is Primata, the suborder Anthropoidea and the infraorder Catarrhini
What are the two infraorders in suborder anthropoidea?
I've seen variations of spelling but something along the lines of: Platrrihni (containing the superfamily Ceboidea) Catarrhini (containing the superfamilies Cercopithecoidea and Hominoidea)

The 8 levels of classification?
The Kingdom belongs to Animalia. The Phylum belongs to Chordata. The Subphylum belongs to Vertebrata. The Class belongs to Mammalia. The Order belongs to Primates. The Suborder belongs to the Anthropoidea. The Superfamily belongs to Hominoidea. The Family belongs to Hominidae. The Genus belongs to Homo. The Species belongs to sapiens.

What is cercopithecoid?
Reference: Fleagle's Primate adaptation and evolution (second edition). Cercopithecoids are members of the primate family, Cercopithecidae. Examples include old world monkeys such as Macaques and Colobus. These members of the primate family are found in the suborder anthropoidea, infraorder catarrhini.

What is the difference between an arthropod an anthropoid?
An arthropod is an invertebrate that has an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed attachments called appendages and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. An anthropoid is a primate, specifically the larger of the two primate suborders, usually known as Simians, such as Monkeys, Baboons, Orangutans, Gorillas, Chimpanzees, and of course Humans.
What is another term for vitamin C?
L-ascorbic acid is another name for Vitamin C. Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient for humans, in which it functions as a vitamin. Ascorbate (an ion of ascorbic acid) is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. It is made internally by almost all organisms; notable mammalian exceptions are most or all of the order chiroptera (bats), and the entire suborder Anthropoidea (Haplorrhini) (tarsiers, monkeys and apes). It is also needed by guinea pigs and some species of birds and fish. Deficiency in this vitamin causes the disease scurvy in humans. It is also widely used as a food additive.
What is the complete classification of a human being?

What is the variety of monkey and apes?
There are over 200 different species of primates. There are three categories, Prosimians, Apes and monkeys. Prosimians are in the family Prosimii and live in Africa and Asia. They include lemurs, lorises, galagos and (possibly) tarsiers. Apes are the members of the Hominoidea Family. They are split in to two groups: * the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 13 species of gibbons, known as the "lesser apes" * the family Hominidae consisting of orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans, known as the "great apes". Monkeys are a much more broad. There are about 264 species of monkeys. These are divided into Old World Monkeys (from Africa & Asia), and New World Monkeys (from South America). Some New World monkeys are Capuchins, Spiders, Squirrels, Marmosets, and Tamarins. Some Old World monkeys include Macaques, colobus, patas, grivets, mandrills, and vervets.
How are humans classified in biology which kingdom is it?
Humans are classified in the domain Eukarya, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Primates, family Hominidae, genus Homo, and species sapiens. This classification system is known as taxonomy, which organizes living organisms into hierarchical groups based on shared characteristics. In the case of humans, we belong to the kingdom Animalia, along with other multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through ingestion.
